Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In Ruth's world everyone keeps secrets. To make their lives smoother. To protect others. To store away for future, advantageous use. In Ruth's world everyone lies, because sometimes, it's just easier. Hackney streets and parks mirror the strangeness of Ruth's world. The long, roman roads lead off optimistically, and end nowhere. The large, flat parks and fields add colour and hope by day, but mystery and danger by night. After a violent attack, Ruth has to travel back to her life. Gay neighbours and singing, black belt sisters; melancholic drunks and love drunk shop assistants; mysterious greengrocers' and an old wise street person change Ruth's life and help her to find the person she 'lost' a year ago. In Under A Hackney Sky, street markets offer hope, dogs push you towards acceptance and healing, the dead protect the damaged and the heartless never leave a job half murdered. The streets of Hackney have something for everyone; whether they want it or not.
